I am very happy with the "Budapest connection" on 591. You have already met Emese, Gyula, Vera and Roland so please enjoy the work of another fine photographer from that city. I am very fond of Ági's ability to find surprising details, like a ladder leading down behind a tree giving you a hug - or a sun sitting in a chair in a flea market in Paris.

You will see more of Ági Vedres photography on 591 in January. I am looking forward to it!
